#TRAILERCHEST: Margot Robbie’s new movie is being called ‘the Goodfellas of figure skating’

Based on the most insane true story you've ever heard.

“What kind of person would break their friend’s leg? Who would do that? To a friend?”

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at the brand new trailer for I, Tonya.

Plot’s it all about? We covered the really short teaser when it was released a few weeks back, but now we’ve got a proper look at the full length trailer for I, Tonya, and it has shot towards the top of our “Must-Watch” lists.

Between Robbie’s fantastic accent work – and not being afraid to make herself look like as awful a person as can be imagined – and Sebastian Stan (who you might better know as Captain America’s best bud Bucky Barnes / The Winter Solider) looking all kinds of uncomfortable when surrounded by these scary, intimidating women.

But this trailer truly belongs to the fantastic Allison Janney. For so long she has pretty much stolen everything she’s been a part of – The West Wing, Juno, The Help, even playing Peach the starfish in Finding Nemo – but it looks like she will be stealing the Best Supporting Actress Oscar next year with her performance here.

Oh, and by the way, this trailer doesn’t hold back on the bad language, going right in at the deep end, so if you’ve got a particularly sensitive disposition to that kind of stuff, maybe give this a bit of wide berth.

For us though, we can’t wait to see what else Janney does with her character here.

Starring: Margot Robbie, Bobby Cannavale, Sebastian Stan and Allison Janney.

Directed by: Craig Gillespie (Lars And The Real Girl)

Irish release date: 16 February 2018

Enjoy!
